Range for electric operation
The certified value for the car's mileage on electric power should not be interpreted as an expected range. The certification value should primarily be used to compare values for different cars obtained during specific test cycles.
Range in the driver display
When the car comes out of the factory or after a factory reset, the range is based on the certified value
When the car has been driven a while, the range is based on historical driving patterns. The amount of history used depends on the battery's charge level. Therefore, the less charge there is in the battery, the faster the range adapts to a changed driving pattern.
Factors that affect the range
In addition to historical trip data, there are several different factors that affect the range. The longest range is achieved under extremely favourable conditions when all factors have a positive impact.
Examples of factors that influence the range:
- speed
- climate settings
- topography
- preconditioning
- tyres and tyre pressure
- traffic situation
- temperature and weather
- road conditions.
Range based on speed and outside temperature
20 °C (68 °F) outside temperature and passenger compartment climate control deactivated.
20 °C (68 °F) outside temperature and passenger compartment climate control activated.
35 °C (95 °F) outside temperature and passenger compartment climate control activated.
-10 °C (14 °F) outside temperature and passenger compartment climate control activated.
The graph shows the approximate relationship between constant speed and range, where a lower constant speed has a positive effect on range.
A higher outside temperature and deactivated climate control are also more favourable for the range.
